The Untouchable Son-In-Law: The Master Peregrine Chapter 162

"You're back. What took you so long? Why are you only back now?" Yvette Larson rushed into her husband's arms as she pounded his chest.
In an instant, all of their previous misunderstandings melted away.
Finn Taylor stroked his wife's hair and comforted her. "Don't worry; I'm here. Nobody will dare to bully you anymore."
With her significant other's assurances, Yvette Larson finally put her heart at rest.
"Come on. Let's go home." Finn Taylor picked up his wife's hand, and they headed for Number One Pacific Heights.
When their car arrived at the foot of Pacific Heights, Finn Taylor received a message from Hunter Sullivan.
Previously, Finn Taylor had instructed Hunter Sullivan to look for Yvette Larson and Donovan Taylor.
He wasn't going to let the latter off.
He had already held it in for decades. Over the years, he had let the latter off on account of their blood relations. But this time, his brother had gone too far.
Hunter Sullivan's message was to inform him that Donovan Taylor had been caught.
Finn Taylor's gaze darkened as he read the message. 'How many years has it been? I've been humiliated in the Taylor family and have been treated so unfairly and badly all because of him. A saint and a jinx? I'll see how a saint—Donovan Taylor—goes down on his knees to beg me for mercy today.'
"What's wrong?" Yvette Larson could sense that something was amiss. Her sixth sense told her that something major was going to happen.
"I'm going to deal with someone."
Yvette Larson didn't try to stop her husband and only said, "Be careful." Then, she got out of the car and walked toward Number One Pacific Heights.
Finn Taylor couldn't help but feel moved as he watched his wife walk off into the distance. No matter what happened, this woman had always chosen to stand on his side without fail.
He slammed on the accelerator, flying toward the address that Hunter Sullivan had sent him as rage pulsed through his veins.

Donovan Taylor was being locked up in a small, dilapidated hut. His whole body was trembling, and it was clear he was flustered. "Hunter Sullivan, do you have a death wish? Don't you know who I am?"
Hunter Sullivan stood before Donovan Taylor and landed a slap on his face. "Finn Taylor, when are you going to return the money that you owe me?"
Donovan Taylor felt his blood boil. 'Hunter Sullivan is nothing but a dog that Peregrine Hall owns. How dare he slap Master Peregrine?'
"B*stard! How many times have I told you that I'm not Finn Taylor? I'm Donovan Taylor! Hunter Sullivan, you're from Peregrine Hall too. Can't you tell us apart?"
Hunter Sullivan landed another vicious slap on Donovan Taylor's face. "Stop bullsh*tting! Who in Peregrine Hall doesn't know that it's Finn Taylor who's in San Francisco? Donovan Taylor is in the dark pool!"
The latter was on the brink of tears when he heard that. He quickly explained, "No, no. I offended too many of my enemies, and they're after my life. Grandma got Finn Taylor to live under my name so that he could inherit the title of Master Peregrine. She even sent him to the dark pool and spread news about it to fool my enemies into thinking that I was in the dark pool. On the other hand, I secretly came to San Francisco to pretend to be that piece of trash."
Hunter Sullivan pretended to be shocked. "Are you really Donovan Taylor? But aren't you afraid that you'll kill Finn Taylor by doing this?"
Donovan Taylor rolled his eyes. "That piece of trash is a jinx. So what if he dies? To the Taylor family, it won't be any different from a dog dying. It's no big deal."
"Is that so?" Just then, a stern and domineering voice sounded throughout the room.
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room—including Hunter Sullivan—fell on their knees.

Finn Taylor strolled over.
Hunter Sullivan was still on the ground as he greeted, "Greetings, Eldest Young Master."
'Eldest Young Master?' Hunter Sullivan's words were a rude awakening for Donovan Taylor. 'Hunter Sullivan was toying with me this whole time. He knows exactly who I am. He was just pretending not to know so that I'd be scared.'
"Hunter Sullivan, you b*stard!"
Finn Taylor helped Hunter Sullivan up as he nodded at the latter. Then, his gaze fell on his brother. "Long time no see, Saint."
His emphasis was on the word 'saint.'
It was full of sarcasm, but unfortunately, Donovan Taylor didn't pick up on that. "Humph! Since you know that I'm a saint to the Taylor family, you'd better hurry up and let me go. I'm going to tell Grandma about this. Let's wait and see how she deals with you!"
Hunter Sullivan simply shut his eyes the moment he heard those words. 'How could there be such stupid people in this world? Finn Taylor and Donovan Taylor may be twins, but they're worlds apart. One of them is a ferocious tiger stalking its prey, while the other is just a useless stray dog.'
"Beat him up!" That was all Finn Taylor said.
The men behind Hunter Sullivan rushed forward and started kicking and punching Donovan Taylor fiercely.
Everyone knew perfectly well that this was their chance to prove themselves. As long as they made full use of this opportunity, they stood to gain a whole lot from Finn Taylor.
Naturally, nobody wanted to miss out on that.
…
At the same time, Yvette Larson returned home.
A group had gathered at the foot of Pacific Heights. Of course, Frida Cameron was at the head of the group. "Does that piece of trash live here? I thought he was living in a pigpen, but it seems like he's enjoying his life here."
'Enjoying his life?' Wendy Jensen didn't even know how to respond to that. 'Finn Taylor married into the Larson family, became a joke to the whole of San Francisco, and had even been bullied and humiliated by the Taylor family for the past three years. But now, Frida Cameron is saying that he was enjoying his life here! Is this what a good life is in her eyes?'
With Frida Cameron leading the way, the few dozen men headed up the hill.
Of course, the security officers rushed up as soon as they saw a group of strangers heading into the Pacific Heights neighborhood.
"Scram!" Frida Cameron shouted tyrannically.
This naturally infuriated the security officers. They were about to fight back when someone in black behind Frida Cameron took something out of his pocket.
One of the older security officers quickly stepped out of the way respectfully.
While the other security officers were still trying to block the group's path, they quickly stepped aside after being chided by the older security officer.
Frida Cameron stomped off arrogantly toward the top of the hill.
The senior security officer couldn't help but feel astounded as he watched the group disappear into the distance.'People from Peregrine Hall are here. Why would they be here? The Taylor family of Peregrine Hall. Finn Taylor, the owner of Number One Pacific Heights. Could it be…'
The senior security officer felt as though he had discovered a secret and quickly headed for the Gold family's residence.
The Gold family had already extended their reach to San Francisco a long time ago, but they had simply inserted some trivial characters there to keep it from others.
In fact, this old security officer was from the Gold family.
'I have to tell Third Master Gold all about this huge secret!'

The Programmer's Dungeon [Progression, LitRPG]
Vincent, a college student from Earth, has been transported to another world full of strange powers and fantastic monsters. Ideally, this would be the start of his journey to become a legendary hero, build an everlasting empire, and gather a personal harem. But no one said that this new world would be easy… After escaping an assassination that accidentally befell him, he was forced to become a Dungeon Master. What will an average programmer student do when he finds out that he can code the dungeon? Vanquish those savages above with his tech and savviness — along with an army of golems? “Wait, this world isn’t even medieval?!” With all the questions piling up in his head, Vincent is set to uncover all these secrets! And… conquer the world, perhaps? The hard reboot of “The Programmer’s Dungeon.” It has an almost completely different plot, cast, and storyline, so expect tons of improvement from the old one.

I have enabled the reader’s suggestion, and therefore, you can correct any grammar mistakes and typos you find in the story. There will definitely be some that I miss. Cheers! The cover was made by Jack0fheart, so a shout-out for him. Releasing 3 chapters per week at 12.00 GMT on Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday with at least 2000+ words.

The White Rabbit: Book 2
In the Urillian Empire, the Empress Xandra rules three-quarters of the planet Xren from her home in the capital of the Earth Continent. Both the fire and water peoples have fallen under her might after a series of wars stretching back three centuries. Earth elves, under Xandra's rule, have spread throughout the planet and established colonies, and are, by all accounts, enjoying what seems to be a prosperous and happy existence. But not everyone in Uril is happy. The holy books speak of elves as the Chosen People of Thesis, tasked with guiding and protecting the lower races. For some people, this scripture has been interpreted to designate their life as one on the lowest rungs of society. Humans have been reduced to a slave class, and serve their elven masters under Xandra's rule, kept at bay by the constant fear of the dreaded Emerald Knight, and their own perceived weakness. Humans do not lead long lives, nor do they possess the wisdom, power, or magical acumen of their elven masters. But there is hope. A group of people have banded together to fight against Xandra, her Knight, and her empire. They call themselves the "Knights of Order" united under the principle idea that Xandra's reign has brought chaos unto Xren, and they wish to restore order. These Knights are led by a man named Xaxac Brigaddon, spoken of as a legend. They say that when the moons are full, some humans transform into powerful beasts. They say that Xaxac is the most powerful warrior on Xren, that in his youth he was enslaved and forced to fight other humans to the death in a bloodsport called "cage fighting", that he could not be touched and held the world championship title for three years running until he faked his own death and escaped his master to join the resistance. They say that he has friends in high places- noblemen, pirates, and the devil himself. They say that if you can find him, he can ferry you to freedom in places where the Earth Elves fear to tread. They say that he is immune to magical attack, and his eyes shine like the silver moon. They say that he is descended from Quizlivian Brigaddon, one of the humans who helped the demon Magnus escape a god. They say that if you want to walk the Path of Order, you should follow the White Rabbit.Come and watch the transformation from human boy to Knight of Order: The life and times of Xaxac OfAgalon OfLangil Brigaddon. Content Warning: This work is based on the real experiences of human trafficing survivors. Xaxac's origins are based on true events, and they are presented realisitcally; this includes but is not limited to: isolation, gaslighting, emotional and sexual abuse, and grooming tactics. This work is meant to hold a mirror up to society; it is based on the real of experiences of people who have experienced slavery and/or abuse. It is an adult work and probably should not be read by anyone under the age of 18. If you are a survivor of human trafficing and/or abuse, your feedback is welcome, but please do not read this if you think it may trigger your trauma. I did not write this with the intention of harming anyone, but rather to provide accurate representation for a group that does not normally get it in the hopes of changing the zeitgeist. I would like to see a world where more people understand what these experiences are like, so that real survivors do not have to deal with microagressions from an ignorant public. Reader discretion is advised. This book does not display these elements as heavily as book 1.
